New reefer here. I’m the relatively new owner of an established tank. It’s got 4 fish, a coral beauty, one spot foxface, cardinal, and blue tang. They’ve all been in the tank a year plus. There have only been a few inverts and coral added the past 3 months.
The past day the coral beauty has had a white stringy poop. From my reading it sounds like intentional parasites.
Questions:
Do fish parasites just sprung up like this?
Should I treat? I have General Cure and Focus. I won’t be able to catch the coral beauty, she’s very shy so I’ll have to feed medicated food to all the fish.
If I don’t treat, us it likely the other fish will develop problems?
I’ve got two clowns in a observation quarantine tank I was going to add next week. Should I hold off adding them?
Any guidance is appreciated.
